From Boinx Software Ltd.:
Boinx iVeZeen (formerly iRecordNow) is an easy to use software that will turn your webcam into a digital camcorder. It features a simple, one button interface. You press the record button, it starts recording, you press the button again and it stops and creates a clip file on your computer. The format of the clips and the compression can be determined by simply choosing one of several predefined settings. The movie clips can then be imported into other tools like iMovie or Final Cut Pro for postproduction. The upgrade to version 2 adds major new features, but is a free for all licensed users of iRecordNow 1.x.

What's new in this version:

Boinx iRecordNow has been renamed to Boinx iVeZeen.

Switching video inputs. All available video sources can now be accessed from the "Camera" menu. Your choice will be remembered between restarts. iVeZeen tells you if your preferred device is no longer available and selects an alternative if possible.

This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.Sorry to say this software doesn't even begin to work. I fired it up after purchasing a license and recorded a meeting at work. After 41 seconds, it stopped recording but never gave any indication. Subsequent attempts to record continued to stop at random times, all under one minute. I was hoping for a simple and reliable application for recording video, and this doesn't even qualify as an Alpha, let alone version 2.2. Most adjustment controls don't work, the presets don't appear to change the filesize of the recordings, and there is no online support beyond a handful of FAQ Q&A's. This looks like a product and a company to stay away from.

This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.Works as advertised. I like it a lot. But it desparately needs some way to select an input video device. I'm forced to unplug anything that might be seen as a video device before it will locate my iSight camera on start up. Worst case it needs to somehow move through the list of available video input devices until it finds an iSight and not just take the first thing on the list and give an error message.

What's new in version 2.0

Boinx iRecordNow has been renamed to Boinx iVeZeen.

Switching video inputs. All available video sources can now be accessed from the "Camera" menu. Your choice will be remembered between restarts. iVeZeen tells you if your preferred device is no longer available and selects an alternative if possible.

Switching sound inputs. Similar to switching video inputs. Please note that the handling of devices like Bluetooth headsets in the operating system is very basic and does not always work reliably with iVeZeen.

Motion Detection recording. There's a new drawer full of controls to set up iVeZeen to record movies if motion occurs in front of your camera. Access it from the "Camera" menu.

Speech Recognition. iVeZeen can be controlled by Speech, so you can shout at it to start recording. If you record audio, the stop command will most likely be recorded as well ;-)

AppleScript support. There is some basic scripting support built into iVeZeen.

Display of remaining recording time. Based on the recording rate and the remaining space on your recording volume iVeZeen will display an approximate remaining time for your recording. It will also stop a few MB before your hard drive will be entirely filled up

Horizontal mirror of video on screen. If you ever tried to record yourself doing something in front of your camera you know why this is a very good idea!

Calibrating the white balance. The iSight can be told to calibrate its white balance. To be found in the "Camera" menu. The settings are lost every time you switch preset, disconnect the camera or restart iVeZeen. Calibration is done inside the camera and can only be triggered by iVeZeen.

Fine-tune slider values. You can use steppers in addition to the sliders for more fine-grained control of the settings. Use "Show advanced controls" in the "Camera" menu to show them. If you did not know before, you can also resize the Controls drawer to lengthen the sliders by grabbing the left edge of the drawer and pulling to the left.
